No option in tracker to stop indexing chat logs

[Alberto Salmerón Moreno]

Binary package hint: tracker

Tracker indexes chat logs, e.g. generated from Pidgin, even though I have instructed it to not watch and index my whole personal folder (only some subfolders). New chat logs are still being indexed, so they are not chat logs that were present after tracker was installed and indexed my whole personal folder by default.

I don't know if Tracker searches for chat logs in specific folders, e.g. whether it knows that Pidgin chat logs are stored under ~/.purple/logs, or it just classifies the text files it find as chat logs if appropriate. In the first case, there should be an option in the Tracker preferences GUI to stop indexing chat logs. In the second case, there is a bug regarding the folders that Tracker must index. This case seems unlikely, since it seems that no other file that's outside the folders I have selected has been indexed.
